About this map

The Gasconade River and Little Piney Creek converge in this section of the Ozark Highlands, where the small settlements of Jerome and Arlington sit along the riverbanks. The landscape is defined by its deep relief, with prominent landforms like Devils Backbone and Table Rock overlooking the water. Much of the eastern and southern terrain is protected within the Mark Twain National Forest, while the southwestern corner includes a portion of the Fort Leonard Wood military reservation.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds throughout the hollows, including the Wynn-Richards Cem, Brick House Cem, and Harrison-Pillman Cem. The town of Newburg serves as a local hub near the rail lines and Little Piney Creek, while Doolittle marks the northeast as the area transitioned into the modern interstate era. This 2017 survey details the complex network of state highways and county roads that provide access to these remote hollows and forest lands.
